This phenomenon of nature, experts say, is due to a great fissure beneath much of southern Idaho and may doom a considerable area.

Three thousand feet long, one hundred seventy-five feet high, this half-million dollar structure will be swallowed up in six months by the rising concrete of Grand Coulee dam, being built by the bureau of reclamation on the Columbia river in Washington. The bridge was constructed as the most economical means of moving con crete from two great mixing plants, one at either side of the river, over the foundation area of the dam, 300 feet wide by 3.000 feet long. A part of the west section of the dam can be seen in the background. Colds Due to Allergy By OR. JAMES W. BARTON C Bell Syndicate. ? WNU Service. Sometimes you find your self sneezing and coughing, with a "running" nose and nat urally you believe you have caught a cold and are in for a few days' misery. However, in a very short time, hours at most, the sneezing, coughing, and stuffiness of the nose dis appear, much to your surprise. The truth of the matter is that in stead of having the usual "infec Dr. Barton tious cold, due to the "cold," flu, or other organisms get ting into the system, you really had an "allergic" cold in the head due to some substance you breathed in from the air, or some sub stance you had eat en. The usual or com mon cold in the head is due to over neatea rooms, lacK 01 vemuauon, not enough moisture in the room, ex posure to wet and cold, inhaling dust or irritating substances, in fected tonsils, and adenoid growths. All these interfere with the mucous membrane of the nose so that it is unable to fight off the organisms that cause the cold. With the usual or common head cold there is a feeling of tiredness, chilliness, slight headache. The symptoms last from two or three days to several weeks. Not Like Common Colds. However, in the "cold" due to al lergy ? sensitiveness to various sub stances ? the history, the onset, the symptoms themselves are consider ably different from those of the common cold. Dr. Norman W. Celin, Seattle, Wash., in Northwest Medicine, says: "Frequent colds at any sea son or at special seasons of the year are often ipanifestations or symptoms of allergy. To diagnose that the condition is allergic there must be an investigation of (1) a family history of allergy, (2) pre vious allergic history of the patient (asthma, hay fever, eczema, stom ach and intestinal upsetments) and (3) a present history of allergic symptoms. AU foods, plants, sub stances handled in industry and other substances should be tested by the scratch method or injection into the skin. The most constant symptom of nasal or nose allergy is a "stuffy nose which is always worse in the morning; chronic cough occurring especially during the early morning hours is likewise a symptom." I believe that these simple methods of learning the dif ference between the usual head cold due to infections, and colds due to allergy (sensitiveness to substances) will enable us to treat either type intelligently. ? ? ? Use of Dinitrophenol. There are cases where the body processes are working at the normal rate, the individual does not eat much food and yet the body weight is much above normal. It is in these cases that the new drug dini trophenol has been used with much success. From San Francisco, where a great amount of research work has been done on dinitrophenol, come some interesting findings. In using thyroid extract to make the body processes work faster and so burn up fat, care must be taken where there is any heart ailment as the thyroid extract throws extra work on the heart. However when Dr. M. L. Tainter used dinitrophenol in three cases of overweight suffering with angina pectoris, without any heart symp toms occurring. Dr. Harold Rosen blum, San Francisco, determined to find whether the dinitrophenol in creased the rate of the heart beat, whether it increased the amount of blood thi! heart pumped and wheth er it increased the blood pressure. Accordingly the rate at which the blood was flowing was observed be fore, during, and after the use of dinitrophenol in patients who were being treated for overweight. The blood travels completely around the body in from ten to six teen seconds. The tests were made in the morning, no food having been taken since the last meal of the previous day ? fourteen hours or thereabouts, the patient lying quiet ly at rest. A record was also kept of the weight, the pulse rate before anfl during the period during which dinitrophenol was given. The results showed that although the rate at which the body processes were working was greatly in creased, nevertheless the heart did not beat faster and the amount o? blood pumped by the heart was not increased. The blood pressure also was not increased by the dinitro phenol. The reason that dinitrophenol should only be used under a physi cian's supervision is that so many are "sensitive" to this drug just as so many are sensitive to pollens, furs, hairs and other substances which c?use hay fever, asthma, and eczema.
